2020-06-01 Home Front: Culture Wars
The Fog is lifted - It's been hiding the truth that civil war has been upon us for years now.
[American Thinker] The fog of war. It's real. It's been hiding the truth that civil war has been upon us for years now.

Here is a prescient definition, first made by Prussian military analyst Carl von Clausewitz, who defined the fog of war concept in the mid 1800s:

War is the realm of uncertainty; three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty. A sensitive and discriminating judgment is called for — a skilled intelligence to scent out the truth.

Example: Hitler not scenting out the truth is how we prevailed on D-Day. The allies used the fog well.

So here we are, and the left is engaging us with its fog. We have been fighting the left in a multi-front war, one front being the mysterious war against the Wuhan virus. Others are fighting a degenerate Democratic Party and an even further degenerate media.

As the fog lifts on the mystery of the virus, we are beginning to see more clearly. We know multiple things. First, we can beat it. Whether we mitigated correctly, or the models were entirely wrong, or it never was as bad as advertised, we don't know yet. But we do know that we know how to beat it. This, in spite of the nonsensical Democratic Party lockdown governors.

We also know that the hard-left apparatchiks know we have beaten it. We also know that these same apparatchiks know that the economy will rebound strong and have better numbers than ever before the election.

It's pretty clear: these leftist party leaders failed miserably trying to blame the virus on Trump. Polls show he is the one most trusted, not they. Their own failed policies in their states and cities are legion. They not only failed, but consigned tens of thousands of seniors to death with their horrifying nursing home edicts and failed policies. Manslaughter in plain sight.

Now the hard left has opened up another front for us to fight. The leftists are trying to scare us with violence dressed up as racial protest. They are using the horrible death of George Floyd to foment racial division. They want us to believe that these are organic protests, when they are fomented by Antifa and paid for by George Soros. Oh, for sure, there are common looters joining them, but this is the leftists' plan: foment violence so they can once again claim that Trump is causing violence in America — and deal the race card as hard as they can.

#1 I've seen many things lifted, but never a "fox." ;->

This aside, I agree with the author wholeheartedly.

#3 I take this as an admission from the Left that its Trump for another four years. Sort of like Lincoln's election forced certain parties to declare their intentions. Except this time its urban vs everyone else. Note to the Red Guard - Mao controlled the countryside before he controlled the cities.

#4 But certainly life in those days were more agrarian. Not so much now.

#7 Feels like the all in do-or-die moment for the violent left. The longer it goes on the more useful idiots will abandon them. They get a chubby over Stalinism we should consider creating some Siberian style labor camps up in Alaska and let them enjoy their stalinism.

#8 Charge people money to shoot at them with rubber bullets or paintballs (from guard towers) or something while they break rocks and you could pay for the thing easily.

#9 Not the left IMO. I've seen these characters up close, cracking heads and chasing police. These people do not have an ideology. They don't have a platform, or a coherent worldview, or a program. They live to create havoc. They're disturbed individuals who get a frisson out of cracking skulls, spilling blood, smashing burning looting.

Ask yourself: what person of sane mind would rush onto a 12-lane interstate freeway in order to cause chaos and traffic fatalities? Hundreds are doing that now in Minneapolis, San Jose, and southern California.

No possible explanation for such a retarded tactic except the simple one that fits the above profile: these characters are mentally and emotionally disturbed.

No. For decades they've learned there is no pain in their actions. When the leash breaks, they will. Even a flat worm can learn from pain.

The Democratic Convention. Will make 1968 look like a picnic.

#13 Oh, they'll come up with something. But there'll be another riot after the trial of the gum shoe.

I disagree. These $hitbags have been nurtured and groomed by the Left.

The Left has now lost control of their creation (or, maybe, not) and the rest of the nation must now deal with them. With extreme prejudice, hopefully.

Better suggestion. Put the camps in Death Valley.
